## Summary

The Lincolnshire County Council has awarded a contract for Cadaver transport and storage equipment and supplies. The title of the contract is "LCC - Coroners Body Removals & Transfers". The contract value is 2,180,000 GBP. The procurement method used was an Open procedure. The contract period is from 1st June 2023 to 31st May 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the funeral and related services industry to grow their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete. Businesses must adhere to quality response requirements for Coroner's Daily Collections and Post Mortem Transfers. It is crucial for suppliers to handle deceased individuals with sensitivity and appropriate techniques to avoid distressing situations. The procurement process strives to align with the Council's 'Green Masterplan' to achieve a net zero carbon target by 2050.

## Notice

This Contract is split into two elements; Coroner's Daily Removals/Collections: The collection of the deceased from their place of death, or where the body lies, to the bidders chapel of rest, at the direction of the Coroner, the Coroner's Representative, or Police Officer. Coroner's Post Mortem Transfers: The transportation of the deceased from either a chapel of rest or hospital mortuary to the contracted mortuary for post mortem. Bidders will need to ensure that where they are bidding for both Coroner's Daily Collections (Lots 1-7) and Post Mortem Transfers (Lots 8-12) that all Quality Response Requirements are answered. There are separate Working Method Questions for Lots 1-7 and Lots 8-12, if a Supplier is bidding for both elements then both sets of questions will need to be completed. This contract is particularly delicate in that any arrangements must recognise the sensitive and distressing situations involving the removal of the deceased. The deceased must be removed using suitable equipment and appropriate manual handling techniques ensuring no further damage to the body occurs or distress to relatives and bystanders. The Supplier shall take in to account the Council's 'Green Masterplan' which focuses on the Government's target for the UK to be "net zero carbon" by 2050. To reduce the Council's contribution to greenhouse gases, the Supplier shall take into account alternative means of transportation, such as using electric vehicles.
